Got scammed into paying $117 for what should have been ~$65 train tickets. Like a moron I used a company called http://Highspeedtrains.com owned by Rail Ninja, instead of the actual Portuguese trains site http://cp.pt. Customer service was an AI bot.
Just a PSA, don't ever use those sites -- find the actual one. Total scam, and the "refundable" fare was with 35% of the fee not taken out.
Total fraud.
Don't have it in me to go “full Orbitz” over $50, but I kind of want to.
